F G C
[Verse 1]
C F G7 C
I planted a little rose bush I tended it with care
F Dm G7
Its buds began to blossom their sweet fragrance filled the air
Am Em
But when winter came it withered
F C Am G7
The petals dropped and fell to the ground my heart sank as it faded
F G7
But I’d forgotten who had made it
[Chorus]
C Dm
He said roses will bloom again just wait and see
G7
Don’t mourn what might have been
F G7
Only God knows how and when that
F G7 C
Roses will bloom again
[Verse 2]
F G7 C
Rose was his only sweetheart a loving wife of forty years
F Dm G7
Cherished every day they had and held memories dear
Am Em F C
He never dreamed he’d bury love and go on to live alone
Am G7 F
But he laid his Rose to rest he looked to heaven
G7
And tried his best to believe that
[Chorus]
C Dm
Roses will bloom again just wait and see
G7
Don’t mourn what might have been
F G7
Only God knows how and when that
F G7 C
Roses will bloom again
[Verse 3]
F G7 C
The precious rose of Sharon broken and bruised in cruel shame
F Dm G7
Stained on the cross of Calvary so that men might be saved
Am Em F C
Satan cheered as He died while Mary and the others cried
Am G7
Then God raised Him up from dead sleep
F G7
And kept a promise only He could keep
[Chorus]
C Dm
Roses will bloom again just wait and see
G7
Don’t mourn what might have been
F G7
Only God knows how and when that
F G7 C
Roses will bloom again
[Outro]
F G7 C
Roses will bloom again
